If you listen to the internet radio show I do each Sunday, you know I’ve been talking about a budget freeze in Wallingford for months. If you are a councilor or mayor hoping to be re-elected this fall, the reality is that you better show the voters that you did your best to freeze spending. I realize holding municipal spending at 2008-09 levels is an extremely difficult, if not impossible task. But if you strive for a budget freeze and arrive at a 1 to 2 percent increase, I think voters will understand. On the other hand if you don’t try for zero and end up at 3 or 4 percent, I don’t think voters will be forgiving. Let me know what you think?
My internet radio partner, John Sullivan, and I discussed the pros and cons of a spending freeze this past Sunday. If you want to listen to the show, log on to Http://SullivanOneOnOne.com and click ON-DEMAND AUDIO and choose the Zero Balance Budget.

I believe every town in Conn. should at least consider a tax freeze.Propose honest plans of a no tax outcome,a 1% increase outcome,2% plan,3% plan and so on.Let the towns see what they have to do.With economy the way it is now,and the bull_ _ _ _ we are getting from our so called leaders a tax revolt or tea party is brewing.
